Mike's new song

[Shady]

Since someone brought up the topic of Mike Love lyrics, I was reminded of this rare find that I uncovered some time back, the proposed lyrics for Smile's uncompleted 'The Elements' track:

THE ELEMENTS
Music by B. Wilson
Lyrics by M. Love

Fire, water, earth, and air,
Elements are everywhere.
On the beach, your car, and pad,
They’re not just a passing fad.
All around the world you see
The Elements in harmony.

The wind blows through her long blonde hair,
I smell her perfume in the air.
A girl like her is cool to find-
Mother Nature blows my mind.

Old Yeller is my shovel ride.
We’re tearin’ down the countryside.
Like Mother Earth, it moves my soul,
When I’m moving the earth, and digging a hole.

Fire hot as the summer sun,
Makes me think of fun fun fun.
Here comes that shiny red fire truck,
Guess that flame’s run out of luck.

Like waves that come a-crashin’ down,
Near sunny Honolulu town,
Water’s cooling down the heat,
A glass of it just can’t be beat.

Fire, water, earth, and air,
Elements are every where,
At the local high school hop,
The drive-in and the record shop.
All around the world you see
The Elements in Harmony.

Coulda been a hit.

 

Great thread!

Little Bruce Coop
M & L: Mike Love

Little Bruce Coop
You don't know what I got

I aint  braggin babe so don't put me down
He's got the tightest pair of shorts in town
When they ride up his ass, man, he don't even cry
Cause if he had a plugged-in keyboard, you know he could fly

He's my little Bruce coop.
You don't know what I got

Just my little Bruce coop with a baseball cap
He'll fiddle with that mic while he's standin still
Gets a lady backstage and she's so damn board
She does a hundred out of there with the top end floored

He's my little Bruce Coop
You don't know what I got

He's got a Grammy at home and a solo album
And he purrs like a kitten over a Pa-ci-f-ico
And if that ain't enough to make you flip your lid
There's one more thing: I write his paychecks, daddy

And comin off the stage with the lights all green
I pull them out of the crowd like you've never seen
I get them back to my trailer and it's hard to steer
cause Bruce hides my rubbers year after year.....

He's my little Bruce Coop
You don't know what I got

I am seriously thinking about recording some of these! Honestly think "Mike Loves You" is a great album title....but alternate title might be T.T.P.O.O.M. Album (Taking the Piss Out of Mike Album).

[♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇]

I think Pinder wins this one!

[Quzi]

Prepare for trouble!
Make it double!
To protect the environment from devastation,
To stop cursing in music within our nation.
To denounce the evils of the Stones and LSD.
To levitate above to the stars we see.
Mike, Maharishi.

Team TM, blast off at the speed of light!
Meditate now or prepare to fight!
Bruce! That's right!
